CUSF announces its 2025 Super Star Award for Unit 4 and District 116 support staff and paraprofessionals. Our schools would simply not run as effectively or efficiently without the many supporting talents and expertise of these essential staff members. From multilingual teaching aides, student support advocates, office managers, food service assistants, hall monitors, nurses, bus drivers, student engagement advocates, and custodial workers, these individuals help build relationships with students’ and staff which are often the “secret sauce,” for successful schools.
Below are the ten 2025 Super Star individuals selected to receive a $250 thank you award from CUSF for their positive contributions to the 2024-25 school year.
